if not you should be, because she's a beauty blogging all star with a nail polish niche located right here in cleveland.

a few weeks back michelle was kind enough to invite myself and some other cleveland bloggers to her home for a beauty product sample party where she put a ton of the products she has received over the past year up for sale.

the prices were set at $1, $3, $5 and a few special $10 items, i.e. ridiculously discounted. basically we all shopped our hearts out with all proceeds from the sale going to dress for successcleveland.the whole concept is brilliant because not only did i get a ton of amazing product but i also donated money to a very worthy cause.

i don't even know how much all of the above product would retail for - $300? $400? $500?

well i "bought" it all for a measely $68

68 BONES!when all was said and done the attendees of the party raised over $700 for dress for success cleveland - awesome.i personally can't thank michelle enough for inviting me. it was awesome to finally meet her as she was quite the hostess.

after the party amelia and i headed to la cave du vin in coventry to visit with the fabulous bartender dana and to drink some pinot noir and sour beers.

a sampling of ciders and sour beers which are now my new obsession

this sour beer specifically is like a slice of heaven in my mouth with its tart cherry flavor - AMAZING.

i need to find a place to buy the above beer STAT, mamma is already going through withdraw.

mmm ciders! I am jealous! that kind of thing is the best! I get excited to get the free new product at the bath and body parties they have for the new seasons. And thats like 3 measley things! Its like christmas!

You biatch...and I mean that in the nicest way possible!! THAT MAC make-up alone is worth at least $100!! LIPGLASS. I love it. I am so jealous and hate you but love your right now! :)))Blogging is great!

Some would say I'm a 34-year-old marketing professional who has been blogging about her life in Cleveland since '08. I would say I love cooking, drinking bubbles and wearing black. My Mom (and new husband) would say I'm just nuts.
